Lake of the Ozarks Boat Slip Rental
Having a boat on the Lake of the Ozarks is one of the best ways to enjoy your time in the Ozarks. Whether you are skiing, sailing, fishing, or just cruising a boat gives you access to all the beautiful places that you can never see without a boat. One question that comes up again and again from visitors and locals alike is where should you put your boat when you aren't using it?
While there are plenty of public and private boat ramps on the Lake of the Ozarks, it's not always convenient to take your boat out of the water. There are several marinas which allow you to rent slips for your boat for either short or long term. the Lake of the Ozarks has over seventy marinas that range from tiny mom and pop docks to big commercial operations that rent hundreds of slips. Prices vary according to the size of the slip, the length of time, and the location of the marina.

Several hotels on the lake offer free slips to their guests. Summer weekends are the optimum time to head out onto the waters of the lake and experience a boaters paradise in the many hidden coves, open stretches, or crowded party spots. As such, these are the times that you will have to look the hardest to find a boat slip, so it's best to always plan ahead.
Officials are making huge efforts to control the areas big boats and power skis can access so that smaller bass boats, pontoons, and sailboats can enjoy all that this magnificent boating spot has to offer. When you see the Lake Patrol, be sure to give them a friendly wave and a kind word. They work hard to keep the Lake of the Ozarks safe and fun for everyone. That's why they might tell you that you can't moor your boat in a particular location. They are looking out for everyone.
As the Boy Scouts say, be prepared. That way you, your family, and friends can have the best possible experience. It's recommended that rather than visiting every marina until you find the slip you are looking for that you make use of the telephone to find out what is available, rates, and requirement for renting. You'll find the marinas to be friendly and appreciative of your efforts and they will usually be more than happy to provide directions or answer your questions.
